I found out today that my car is equipped with a sirius satellite radio module. Ive never used this, nor plan on using it.. Is there anyway i can uninstall and sell it? How much do they go for? Thanks

You can remove the module and sell it. I think it is on the driver's side in the trunk, behind the removable panel. Do a search on the forum to be sure on the location. And as Martin points out, check eBay to see what a ballpark price range might be...

you can remove it, but you'll have to close the fiber optic loop after you remove it with a loopback plug (not too expensive) , and I think you'll need reprogramming so the radio doesn't look for the unit. might end up costing more than the unit will fetch on ebay.
